Remembering #Songs - Born Free

I am participating in the Write Tribe Festival Of Words. This is a 7 day festival from 10 July to 16 July.

My theme is "Remembering Songs". These are songs that trigger some memory.

I had my day 7 all set but a song for Day 6  seemed to evade me.  You may wonder why I didn't use the day 7 song for day 6. But there is a method in my madness.

Then as I was browsing through youtube I came across Born Free and I knew that was my song for day 6.

I was about 9 or 10 I think when my dad took me to see the movie which is a true story about Elsa the Lioness and her beautiful relationship with Joy and George Adamson.

My favourite part of the movie was the ending. I thought it was so cute and the song was just perfect.

I also read the books written by Joy Adamson. Here are 2 of them. Couldn't find the last one Forever Free.

My favourite scene from the movie. Lions are so majestic and the cubs are so cute.

So much of turbulence in the world right now. We are born free but are we living free and in the future will we stay free?  What do you think?

Cats?

Cats and me don't go well together. I was in my early teens when my neighbour bought 2 Siamese cats. One was friendly and the other wasn't. At least I thought so. Unfortunately I could never tell them apart and in one of my endeavours to be friendly I chose the wrong cat. Ever since then cats have definitely not been my best friends or on my Christmas card list. I am always on edge when there's a cat around.

So you can imagine how stunned I was when someone once said to me that they could sense that I am a cat person. I didn't want to be rude so I chose to remain silent. But I've often thought about this and wondered why she thought I was a cat person.

Then some days ago while watching a documentary on the big cats I realised that I actually loved the big cats, tigers and lions in particular. As a kid I loved the tigers and lions at the circus. I hated the whips they used on them but I loved looking at them. And at the zoo again lions and tigers were my favourites.

Oh and students from the school I went to are known as "Cats".

So perhaps  I am a cat person after all. Perhaps I've been a cat person all along, just not the pussy cat kind.

Are you a cat person?

What's the Time Mr Wolf?

There was a time when I could have confidently said I am a morning person. Getting up early in the morning was a piece of cake but staying up late at night was a Herculean task.

But now I no longer know as I seem to do both with ease or not just depends on the time of year. In Winter waking up early and staying up late seems near impossible. Yet in Summer my eyes open up before the alarm goes off and sleep eludes me until late at night.

Perhaps my body is tuned in to circadian rhythms or perhaps I was a bear in a previous life. I think bears have got it right; hibernating in Winter seems like the perfect thing to do.

So what's the time Mr Wolf?  Share your time of day.
